Accentuate the Positive 2012 Geneameme

At this time of year many geneabloggers take stock of what they have achieved or not achieved in the previous twelve months and set themselves goals for the coming year. I have been reading several of these posts this week.

I feel that a lot of my geneablogging friends are too hard on themselves; several have reported on their successes this year but quite a number have lamented that they haven't achieved as much as they set out to do or that they haven't blogged with the frequency they envisaged.

You are a bunch of highly motivated people who have made great strides in the genealogy sphere. Let's share the good news.

Accentuate the Positive 2012 Geneameme
On a whim this morning I decided to throw together a Geneameme in which you can share the positive results of your Genea Activities in 2012.

I invite you to take part in this activity by responding to the following statements/questions in a blog post. Write as much or as little as you want. Once you have done so please share your post's link in a comment on this post or to me via social media. I will, in due course post a list of links to your contributions on this blog.

Remember to accentuate the positive - please delete the statements that are not relevant to your situation.

2. A precious family photo I found was

3. An ancestor's grave I found was

4. An important vital record I found was

5. A newly found family member who shared

This is a great idea. This year I'm most proud of the accomplishments of my local genealogical society. We've added facebook and twitter to our menu of offerings and have consistently added to our blog. We're reviewing our website for upgrades. When I think where we were and where we've come in one year, I am proud to have been part of it.

Finished!! You'll find my post at http://www.sharnsgenealogyhints.blogspot.com on my FamilyHistory4u blog. Thankyou for this geneameme, Jill. It gave me the opportunity to reflect on my gemea year 2012
